The Oilers will get one more bottom 5 pick next season and then the management will go all in to make moves.
I actually don't see it.
If Nelson was the coach from camp they probably would've finished outside the bottom 5, they damn near played their way out of it as it was.
Management needs to start making improvements now. No excuse for not getting at minimum one decent d-man and an upgrade in net this summer now.
Besides honestly McDavid already has several other high end talents to play with upfront now, this isn't like the Cavaliers with LeBron James initial run there where they didn't have another star player to team him with.
McDavid has Hall, Eberle, Yakupov, etc. to play with and even has another all-star caliber center in RNH and maybe even another one on top of that in Draisaitl to work with ... that's an embarrassment of riches.
To be honest I don't think next year's draft is all that special anyway. This was the one that the Oilers badly needed to win and they got it by luck.
Even if they do nothing but sign a mid-tier d-man like Erhoff, acquire a goalie upgrade like Craig Anderson, and have a full year of either Nelson (or gulp) Babcock ... that's probably a 85-90 point team.
